# update defaults

> change any subset of your default market, ticker, session, date range and report. Edgeful reconciles the whole tuple as the account form does: the report constrains the market, a market change resets the ticker, and the session must be a standard preset the report allows (the report catalog with a market lists them). returns the reconciled defaults and the previous ones, so sending previous back undoes the change. this changes your account, and Edgeful shows the change after a reload. requires the key's write permission.
